Second-half defensive letdown costs UNC
Posted Sep 22, 2013
Bandit Norkeithus Otis said the defense wasn’t worn down. Cornerback Tim Scott implied that it was. Coach Larry Fedora said he didn’t know. Tired or not, North Carolina’s defense clearly wasn’t as effective in the second half of Saturday’s 28-20 loss to Georgia Tech, allowing the Yellow Jackets to chew up the clock and giving the Tar Heels just four possessions in the entire second half.
